Swipe between pages plugin?

    Hi there,

    I’m hoping to find a plugin for responsive hierarchical menus. The first menu is literally the landing page, and as selections are made, additional menus are populated to the right. The final menu leads to one of dozens of simple web pages.

    A key feature is the ability to swipe left and return to the spot in the last menu, including from the final web page. This is needed because of the large quantity of options. I anticipate the website will mostly be accessed via cell phones.

    Can anyone think of a pre-made solution?

    That sounds like a one-page app, where everything is displayed on one page and users perform interactions to get to other sections of content. Interactions like pressing on the navigation items (which scroll down) or scrolling down manually.

    There are drawbacks to this, as all of your information is typically loaded by the user at once (it’s slower) when that information would usually split into multiple pages. It’s also going to have a play on SEO, as imagine if a user wants to jump to a particular page. There will a task to figure out how to swipe/ jump when usually that would be taken care of.

    Whether you go through this design choice, you’ll still need physical buttons on the page to handle the Swipe Right and Swipe Left functionality. This is because the Web is different to app development and the Web relies on HTML elements to perform actions. That leads to the question, if you’re having buttons anyway, do you really need this? Do you need to change your architecture to fulfil a swipe animation?
